The old bully Siamese

I have been looking for the old Bully Siamese cat for some time. Tanja (Chayenne) was kind enough to contact me, that it was on ebay, - they had spelled Schleich wrong, so it was very hard to find this BULLY-cat
The newer one for reference to the right :


But this was dangerous, - now I was looking through the Bully(land) figueres on Ebay, I ended up buying a whole lot. Here are some of them :

A new friend for the old cocker :


Two of the nice 1 : 12 -scale birdies


A red panda, - funny ears


An old unicorn


My Cheetah-kitten got a mummy at last :


A Java rhino, - worn, but cute


This strange creature was irresistable :


My monkey (in the middle) got two new old friends:

Two black horses. Horses are not the strongest side of Bullyland, but these came along with some other figueres, and I rather like them :

One of my very first Bully-figueres is the swan with grey babies, it has been here for many years, - now I found one with yellow ones


And a squid + some sort of snail-squid, - I am sure somebody can tell me the names of them ?

I also got some very nice old dinoes, but this must be enough pictures for now

Nice bunch of models! (And no, there's no such thing as "enough pictures". ) I think that snaily squid thing is a Nautilus, I have the same one.

Congratulations Susanne!
When I visited your website I haven't noticed the old Siamese, I was almost sleeping, maybe!
I should be very happy with this cat!!! Thanks Tanja to help one of our queens!
My favourite... the ant-eater!!! I love ant-eaters!!!

Wow Susanne, you have been busy! Was absolutely fantastic finds!! so many gorgeous models, keep posting pictures please! Congratulations of finally having the beautiful Siamese cat!
I used to have the cocker spaniel, but when I was little I used to play with my animals outside - so it got lost one day

Congratulations Susanne! I love the Siamese cat and cheetah. DO you know there is a new Siamese cat coming up on Bullyland this year.

Yes, - only it is a colorpoint Europé , - European shorthair - also called housecat


Breeders of siamese cats have crossed "cat-cats" into the siamese breed to get other colours masks, - and to improve the genetic versatility, I think. Maybe you already know this, but the gene for colourpoint is reccesive, so it is not untill you cross these back to siamese that you get masked cats (in prinsiple 50% of the kittens ).

But if you cross the original crosses, 25% will also have masks, even if they are not build like siamese, so these are one originn of the colourpoint European shorthair

Thank you, Ken, and Tanja, too, you are both very, very kind and really good friends

This cat I MUST have

Here are some more from my latest harvest, - some very used and some new ones

Two cute guinea pigs, - I think there are at least 2 more to look for



Two big bugs :


Two cute, old doggies :


Two little old ones, - I like the camel, it is not often you see one where the humps are not standinng fully up :


Two hawks, one is somewhat used, but that is ok :


The vultures. The old one is funny, the legs are made separately and glued on



A huge panter, it has a cub, but the seller did not have it :


A large pinguin


And the Akhal Téké , - again, Bullys horses are nothing special, but I like this one anyway


I will try to get pictures if the dinoes later, - try
It takes a lot of time, and the critters seem to know that I am busy, so they play all sorts of tricks on me while I try to concetrate, - just like little children

In the Bullyland world birds are kings! Congratulations for your new additions, Susanne!
Is nice to see that your criters are disputing your attention!
I think Mummy will start eating your new dogs!

Yep ! The Bullybirds are just fantastic. I saw your vulture, and decided the old one needed a friend

He, he, I am sure Mummy would like to , - but actually Fidda was the bandit this time, - she ate the canarie-bird from Bullyland

Congratulations Susanne! They are lovely!

Ok.. So, i don't know this breed, but now i know it :)

Robert, thanks for the link, and information...

I will read a little information and see some photos about him, but maybe, i buy it.. I like the pose from Schleich :)

But i have time to buy, he just enter this year, so, with calm, i think about this eheheh

Thanks for the link, Roger !

I thought I knew everything about the Akal-teke, but now I lerned something more.
It is often very dumb to think one is clever

Terrible how this ancient breed is troubled by really serious diseases due to in-breeding .
Maybe with modern technology they can spot the genes that causes it, and take the carriers out of the breeding-stock. But that is expensive

Yes, Philip, I, also think this figuere by Schleich is fantastic ! One of the best they have ever made, perhaps, wow!

Great adittions to your collection! I have the unicorn!

It is really neat, - I love his beard

Great new additions Susanne!
Your shelled squid is a Nautilus indeed.
The Java-Rhino seems to be the baby, there is an adult model too i believe from the catalogues.
The black horse standing was called a Hannoveraner in the old catalogues, it came in 3 colour-variations.
I really love the heron and macaw, i develope a love for the bird-models more and more...

Congratulations on your new figurines Susanne, fabulous batch!

Congrats Susanne! They are all wonderful! I really like the standing black horse. He has a quirky charm about him! :)
